6. Pricing Terms and Conditions

This section relates only to booking a tour guide on tourplus.my. Pricing is set by the tour guides directly and not by Tourplus Private Tour Guides. The tour guide can chose a base currency of payment as MYR, SGD, EURO, GBP, CAD, AUD or USD. All transaction will pay in full payment once the booking is confirmed through Tourplus payment system.

Using Tourplus’s payment system is required to make a reservation, and it helps ensure that both parties are protected under our Terms of Service, cancellation policies, Traveler Refund Policy.

Payouts to tour guide

To check the status of your payout, visit your Transaction History. Once Tourplus has sent your payout, a “Payout” line item appears for that reservation. It may take up to a week for your payment processor to complete the transaction after Tourplus releases the funds.

Payments from Travelers

You’ll be charged for the total cost of your reservation when it’s confirmed. Reservation requests are confirmed when they’re accepted by the tour guide.

8. What will my payout be?

Your payout will be the listing price minus the 20% Tour guide service fee. Your Traveler pays the cost of your listing in addition 10% Traveler service fee, which explains why they see a total that is higher than what you quoted. Example: Your trip is listed as USD100, user will pay for USD110 and you will get payout of USD80.

Here are some common things that may impact the amount of your payout:

You explained the pricing in your Description, but you did not incorporate it into your pricing settings. You should include all costs in your pricing settings whenever possible.

Our system only processes whole numbers and rounds to the nearest whole amount.

Depending on the country of residence of the Tour Guide or Traveler, VAT on the service fees may be included as an additional amount over and above the total Tourplus service fee.

To change the price of an accepted reservation, you will need to change the reservation with your Traveler.

9. Traveler Refund Policy

Travel Guide Service on the Tourplus platform should meet minimum quality standards regarding safety, access, and customer satisfaction, and they should be consistent with the description provided by the Service Provider. If a Traveler who books and pays for an Travel Guide Service suffers a 'Travel Issue' because the Service does not meet Tourplus standards, the Traveler may be eligible for a refund in accordance with the Traveler Refund Policy.

Tourplus will (at our discretion) either provide the Traveler with a refund or use reasonable efforts to find and book the Traveler at another comparable Travel Guide Service for any unused credits left in your reservation. The amount of any refund will depend on the nature of the Travel Issue suffered.

A valid 'Travel Issue' generally falls into three categories, (1) the Service Provider cancels a reservation 24 hours or less before the scheduled start of the reservation, or fails to provide the Traveler services, (2) the description of the Travel Guide Service in the listing on the Site is materially different from the actual Service (such as the Language, Car Type), or (3) the Service Provide did not show up as requested.

To submit a valid claim for a refund, a Traveler is required (a) to bring the Travel Issue to our attention within 24 hours after the start of your reservation (including photographs or other evidence) and respond to our requests for information or cooperation, (b) not have directly or indirectly caused the Travel Issue and (c) to have used reasonable efforts to try to remedy the circumstances of the Travel Issue with the Service Provider prior to making a claim for a Travel Issue.

10. What is a cancellation policy?

Cancellation policies are the conditions under which a Tour Guide will return (or doesn’t return) money to a Traveler if the Traveler cancels the reservation. Tourplus enforces these policies to protect both Traveler and Tour Guide alike.

Cancellation policy

Each listing on Tourplus has same cancellation policy which Travelers will able to get full refund 1 day prior of arrival. Travelers must agree to the Tour Guide's cancellation policy when submitting a reservation request.

Traveler cancellation

For accepted reservations, the cancellation policy is in your itinerary. Travelers who cancel their reservation are refunded according to below:

The Tourplus service fee is non-refundable.

If there is a complaint from either party, notice must be given to Tourplus within 24 hours of arrival.

Tourplus will mediate when necessary, and has the final say in all disputes.

A reservation is officially canceled when the traveler clicks the cancellation button on the cancellation confirmation page, which they can find in Dashboard > Your Trips > Change or Cancel.

Cancellation policies may be superseded by the Traveler Refund Policy, safety cancellations, or extenuating circumstances. Please review these exceptions.

Applicable taxes will be retained and remitted.

Tour Guide cancellation

If Tour Guides need to cancel a reservation, Travelers can choose to rebook with another Tour Guide or to be fully refunded.

Because cancellations can have serious implications on a Traveler's trip, there are penalties that will be applied for Tour Guide cancellations.

11. How do the cancellation penalties work?

Because cancellations can have serious implications on a traveler's trip, there are penalties that will be applied for tour guide cancellations.

A cancellation fee.

If you cancel any reservation within 7 days of check-in, you'll be charged a USD$100 fee. Additionally, if you cancel more than one reservation within a six-month period, you'll be charged $50 per cancellation.
